Multidimensional Rajon Rondo Gives Chicago Bulls Chance at NBA Finals Run

Rajon Rondo has really bounced around the NBA since his near decade-long run with the Boston Celtics ended a few years back, but now with the Chicago Bulls against his former team in the NBA Playoffs, it looks like the enigmatic point guard has found the fountain of youth.

The now 31-year-old put Kelly Olynyk on spin cycle last night.

He was also facilitating on the break for the Bulls.

And all of this led to a near triple-double and mighty impressive stat line as the Bulls took Game 2 in Boston and claimed a commanding 2-0 series lead heading back home.

Rondo may be the Bulls’ ticket to a deep run in the Eastern Conference.

Heck, he might even help Chicago put a scare into LeBron James and the mighty Cleveland Cavaliers.
